Winter Monday Penguins! (Read 12 times)


Singer who runs a smidge

    The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here. Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails! What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges."  And some penguins don't run at all, we just hang out for the company! It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)

    When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run.  The only thing that matters is how we have loved.

      So I went to my gig on Saturday, and it was nearly 70, so I left my jacket in the car.  By the time we finished (four hours later) it was in the 40's.  Sheesh!!  Anyway, the gig was fun, dinner with the chorus ladies (and DH) was a blast, and the weekend was generally a good thing.  We'll head down to my folks come Wednesday for Thanksgiving, looking forward to that!  They recently installed a hot tub, so there will definitely be swimsuits packed!

       

      December is already ridiculous.  In the 24 days before Christmas, I have 10 gigs/extra rehearsals, for either quartet or chorus.  Bring on the insanity!!

        Morning.  I have Pilates and 3-4 miles after that.

         

        HopeMom, sounds like the holidays provide no rest for you!

        As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

          4.7 on the bike path.  Chilly 35*.   You are way busier than I, HsM.   Now I'm off on a Thanksgiving beer/wine run.

            It's my FIL's birthday so I might just run 1 mile tonight.

              Game season indeed!!  If I've added right, our quartet will pick up over $1K this season.  Music purchases, coaching, costumes, it all has to get paid for somehow!
